Don't forget to set your clocks ahead tomorrow night when you go to bed!
I usually get all of the clocks reset by June. There are clocks and watches I never did reset in the fall so Sunday morning they'll be on time again! Here's the ultimate in lazy. I have two clocks in the barn, one on daylight savings time and one on standard time. I just throw a piece of cloth over the one I'm not using so I don't have to reset them. Pretty pathetic huh?

Nah, that isn't lazy. I know a guy who takes his wreath down around March, hangs it in the barn and takes it out in November. He sprays it green and he's good until the next March. Now, That's lazy.

Finally, I can wear my watch again! It is a cheap Timex knock-off and there is some super secret combination of buttons pushed while naked and chanting some incantation under a full moon before it will let you change the time. I frig with it a few times during the winter trying to change it, then get PO'ed and threaten to huck it in the trash. Problem is that it keeps awesome time and the band is so comfortable that I just can't bring myself to toss it. I set it aside every time we change the clocks in the Fall and dig it out to wear again in the Spring.

Thanks for the reminder. Time to go get the watch, which means it is time to watch the DW shake her head in amusement.

Well that sounds perfectly reasonable to me - and fun!!

Didn't I read something last week about Daylight Savings time being a dud?
